Top customer reviews

This is an extremely practical and useful book written by Kevin McCann and Tom Green. If you have a passion for the book you're working on but not a great deal of knowledge about the skills required this is an ideal starting point. It includes step by step approaches to research, redrafting, manuscript preparation, different printing options and methods, e-books, marketing, book cover design, blogging, running a website etc., It is written in a no-nonsense style and it is direct about the effort and time required to make your self-publishing project a success. There are lots of ideas and tips here about the information and skills writers need to have. I found the section on e-publishing particularly helpful. If you think producing your own book will be an easy endeavour - make sure you read this Teach Yourself guide first. Equally, if you think it will prove impossible to self-publish this book will help you to approach the task with more confidence. It is both helpful and realistic - enabling and pedagogical: as is stated in the opening chapter:"You'll need to be patient....You must be prepared to work hard and take infinite pains. There's really no other way."
